Off-duty guard Brandon Simon, 20, of Sunnyvale, and accomplice Travis Calhoun, 21, are alleged to have broken into the old offices -- which are unused but still house property -- in order to steal 49 laptops, the newspaper reported.

An on-duty guard called police to report two masked men in black removing property from 1050 Page Mill Road at 1:31 a.m. Monday, according to the newspaper. The thieves fled when they made eye contact with the guard.

The guard gave a description of the men and their vehicle to cops, who soon thereafter saw a car matching the description. It containted burglary tools and a second car following close behind contained the laptops, the newspaper reported.
